Why should you use BS EN IEC 62820-3-2 - Application guidelines for advanced security building intercom systems (ASBIS)?
An ASBIS is used to receive advanced access communication events (visitor-calls, user receiver-calls, security-management-calls) as well other events (emergency, danger and hazard alarms), forward them to a technical receiver and present them appropriately at a support agency (e.g. Security Management Unit). On acknowledging receipt, the support agency assumes responsibility for verifying and initiating measures defined in accordance with the Technical Risk Management file. The acknowledgment is displayed at the point where the action is initiated.
BS EN IEC 62820-3-2 has become necessary because
- Both the application fields and importance of Advanced Security Building Intercom Systems (ASBIS) have increased
- Different events, emergencies, dangers, and hazards needs various responses and reactions, which have to be verified by voice communication in advance
- A detailed guide is needed for companies and operators with no previous knowledge of ASBIS
